men in and near town, the mine boys
being especially liberal in their dona
tons.
Era has been torn up, this week,
over the efforts of some of our people
to "draw the line" Charlie Gould's
uncomfortable greed led him to try to
capture the dance of both Christmas
and New Years. Feeling that this
was rather one-sided proceeding, a
few other parties organized an oppo-
sition dance, which resulted in a com.
plete boycott of Gould. Frank Mar.
tin tried TO recover fiddle loaned to
Gould for the evening, and handto-
hand fight ensued, in which neither
was seriously hurt. The next day
Martin was fined t45 and costs for
assault and battery. He paid it, and
was re-arrested on a charge of dis
turbiue the peace. A trial was held
before Justice Brooke on Sunday, and
a jury acquitted him. Quiet is once
more ours.

A sleighing party of seven couples
went to dance at Jerd. Williams
on Antelope. After losing the road
fording streams, and some walking
they reached the ranch. No attemp
was made to return until daylight
when a more detected, weary-lookinf
set could not be found. Country
dances are not in favor here now.

SUNK IN CENTRAL.

Suit in The City Court Involving
$4,000 Lost in Speculation.
A demurrer TO the declaration of Ellen
e. J.Settre, in a suit brought in the City
Court against Isaac Beckett, Esq, in
volving 900, was overruled yesterday.
The plaintiff asserts that she delivered to
Sgaefendant some four years ago $12, 900
worth of city of Savannah D per cent,
bonds. According to the declaration the
delivery was at the defendants
solicitation, and was in the nature
OF a loan. No interest has been paid on
the loan and the plaintiff asks for ver-
dict for $4,000. In his answer the de-
iendant says that the bonds were given to
him without solicitation, to speculate
with, and were lost in Central Railroad
stock. The defendant says further that
on Jan. 8, 1888, the plaintiff gave him a
written acknowledgment concerning the
bonds in controversy. He claimed that
the plaintiff should have set forth all the
facts in the case. On Monday the case
w III proceed on its merits.

THE LAST BEFORE LENT.
Louis James and Marie Wainwright
as "Virginius."

as "Virginius."
A large audience witnessed Mr.. Louis
James enact the role of "VIrgInius" at
the Savannah Theatre last night, in Sher-
idan Knowles classic tragedy of that
title. Mr.. James is an actor of splendid
physique, with a strong and flexible
voice, not unpleasantly harsh in any
tone.
The play affords unlimited opportunities
for ranting and tearing passions to tat
tiers, but Mr.. James at least c0mmenda-
bly, avoided seIzing the opportunities.
His scene in the forum was very
strong, and the denunciation of the
lascivious kidnapping "Appius" and his
client, "Claudina," followed by the
assassination of the pure Virginia"
wrought up the house to high pitch Of
enthusiasm. The mad scene in the
last act was excellently given. To
be sure, it invited comparison
with McCullough's performance, which
was one of his masterpieces. Critics,
perhaps, will not agree as to the relative
merits of the two performances, but even
though memory has thrown halo about
McCullough's, Mr.. James stands the
comparison well.
''Virginia'' is not very trying part.
Miss Marie Wainwright looked and act
ed the innocent Roman maiden to much
more than the satisfaction of the audience,
and was several times recalled.
The elOcution of the support might be
improved by general toning down in
various passages.
Mr.. Mosely's "IcIlius" and Mr.. Faw-
cett's ''Numitorious" were otherwise
quite praisewOrthy. Mr.. Fawcett has a
good physique and good voice.

attraction, Feb. "A and %.

Mr., Cammack day or two ago referred
in this way to the report that the Rich
mond Terminal, East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia ana the Georgia Central
folks were endeavoring to capture the
Jersey Central, and thus make through
line from New York to Florida. The re-
port helped Jersey Central, but Mr.. Cam

CHARGED WITH ExToR ZION.
United States Deputy Marshal Pal
mer gain in Trouble.

mer Again in Trouble.
United States Deputy Marshal Harry
Palmer was In trouble again yesterday.
j. II. Scarlet, OF Camden county, lodged
complaint with Col. l.. Nj. Lamar, the
United States Marshal OF the district,
charging his deputy with extortion. Col.
Lamar promptly brought the matter to
the notice Of Judge Speer.
AT his honor's direction Scarlet en-
bodied his complaint in an affidavit. The
affant stated that about month ago
Deputy Marshal Palmer visited Camden
county to serve some warrants. While
there he borrowed 81 from r. M. Scarlett,
The atlantis brother. j. II. Scarlet came
on TO Savannah and was a witness for the
defense in retail liquor dealing case.
he says that he had been authorized
by his brother to collect the
ST, and while in Savannah he asked
Palmer for it. Palmer refused to pay it,
saying in effect: Scarlet. had war
rant tor you, but I tore it up. You had
better pay him the money yourself than
have me arrest you and bring you to
court. Your brother had better lose 1t,
and you can tell him ] am not going to
pay It,"
The affiant understood from what the
deputy said that he had warrant charg-
ing him, j. II. Scarlet, with violating
the internal revenue law. Scarlet de-
! clares that, as matter Of fact, there
never has been warrant Issued by any
| OF the commissioners for his arrest.
Palmer, when taken before Judge Speer,
| gave 5000 bond to answer the charge
when called upon. The court appointed
=. w. Meldrim, Esq, to defend the dep
suty. Palmer denies that the money was
! eXtorted under color Of his office. He
says that he got out of money while OFF
serving process of the court, and bor-
| rowed small sum, but he disclaims haV.
ing ever had the conversation which is
charged in the affidavit.
| The case may come up to-day before
! Judge Speer, who considered the charge
was so serious, and If true so much OF a
reflection on the court, that he preferred
investigating it himself TO allowing it to
go before United States Commissioner.

MAI. FINK'S POSITION.
Vice President of the Entire West
Point Terminal system.


A special dispatch from Richmond,
Va, TO the Baltimore Sun says
that "Henry Fink, for many years
general manager OF the Norfolk and
Western railroad, aud subsequently at
the head OF the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia road, has been made
vice president OF the West Point Termi-
nal and the Richmond and Dsnvllle sys-
tenn. His Office will be in New York. The
superintendents ofthe various lines COM
posing the system are to report to Mr. e.
b. Thomas, general manager, who in
turn reports to Vice President Fink"
This is contirmatory of the statement
published by the MORNING NEWS two
weeks ago, TO the effect that MIR. Fink
was to be the chief executive officer OF
the whole West Point Terminal system,
including the Richmond and Danville and
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia. That is now admitted by railroad
men who are in position to know.
1t is stated that Mr.. Fink's manage
ment will be on amicable terms with the
Georgia Central, and yet it is rumored
that about that time an order will be
issued to the CentraPs officials at Augusta
allowing them to take freight again for
points on the Columbia and Greenvjlle
road,
